Aggressive Legal Defense For Serious Felony Crimes

It is one thing to be in trouble with the law, but it is even more serious when you have been charged with a felony. With more than 40 combined years of experience, our felony defense attorneys are seasoned litigators. At Frye, Troxler & Davis, PSC, they provide sophisticated and aggressive legal strategies for those accused of crimes in Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio. 

Understanding Felony Crimes And Classifications In Kentucky

Kentucky categorizes felonies into four classes, each carrying distinct sentencing ranges and potential fines. These classifications are as follows: 

  • Class A felony: This is the most serious category, punishable by 20 to 50 years or life in prison.
  • Class B felony: This class carries a sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison.
  • Class C felony: A conviction in this class can result in a prison sentence of five to 10 years.
  • Class D felony: The least severe felony class, it still carries a potential prison sentence of one to five years.
In addition to prison time, felony convictions can result in significant fines, which can range from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the class of felony and a significant impact on your daily rights. These classifications differ from those in neighboring states like Ohio and West Virginia. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers represent clients in Ohio and West Virginia and can help you understand the difference between felony charges in different jurisdictions.

Comprehensive Legal Defense For Serious Felony Crimes

At Frye & Troxler PSC, our defense attorneys handle a wide range of felony offenses, including:

  • Violent crimes: Charges such as homicide, manslaughter and assault carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences. Additionally, our attorneys have experience in death penalty cases. 
  • Sex crimes: These offenses can lead to significant prison time, mandatory registration as a sex offender and a long-lasting social stigma.
  • White collar crimes: Offenses such as fraud, embezzlement and identity theft can result in substantial financial penalties and imprisonment.
  • Drug trafficking: Kentucky imposes harsh penalties for drug trafficking, including lengthy prison sentences and asset forfeiture.
  • Weapons offenses: Illegal possession or use of firearms can lead to significant prison time, especially for repeat offenders, and can be used to enhance other charges.
  • Property crimes: Charges such as burglary, theft and arson can result in varying penalties based on the value of the property involved and the offender’s prior criminal history.

Any felony crime defense strategy requires a careful review of the facts. A felony conviction can have far-reaching consequences. Beyond criminal penalties, a conviction can also affect your employment opportunities, housing options and even your right to vote. Kentucky has a “persistent felony offender” statute and West Virginia has a “habitual offender status”, which can increase penalties. Our criminal defense attorneys know the law and will mount a strong defense on your behalf.

Appealing A Felony Conviction And Post-Conviction Relief

You have the right to appeal your conviction, especially if you have been wrongly convicted. Appeals to the Intermediate and Supreme Courts can challenge the validity of your conviction or sentence. Our experienced defense lawyers can evaluate your case, identify potential legal errors and pursue all available avenues for relief. Even if you were previously represented by another attorney, our team might still be able to help you. Different options, such as post-conviction relief, can challenge the validity of your conviction or sentence. Our attorneys can also assist with probation violations, felony expungement, preliminary hearings, plea bargaining and felony diversion programs.
